The equation of the line that bisects the given segment is y = -2x -3.

The given points coordinates;

A(-2, 4), B(-4, 2)

The mid-point of the given coordinate points;

Mid-point = \frac{x_1 + x_2 }{2} , \ \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \\\\Mid-point = \frac{-2 -4}{2} , \ \frac{4+2}{2} \\\\Mid-point = (-3, 3)

The slope of the given line is calculated as;

y = -2x + 5

slope = -2

The equation of the line that bisects the given coordinate points;

\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = -2\\\\\frac{y-3}{x-(-3)} = -2\\\\\frac{y-3}{x+3} = -2\\\\y-3 = -2(x+3)\\\\y-3 = -2x -6\\\\y = -2x -3

Thus, the equation of the line that bisects the given segment is y = -2x -3.

On a cold February morning, the radiator fluid in Stanley’s car is -18 degrees When the engine is running, the temperature goes
Rasek [7]

Remark

This is an arithmetic progression. You have the first and last terms and the difference.

Givens

a = - 18

L = 60

d = 4.5        

Equation

L = a + (n - 1)d

Solve

60 = -18 + (n - 1) * 4.5   Add 18 to both side

60 + 18 = (n - 1) * 4.5      

78 = (n - 1) * 4.5           Divide both sides by 4.5

78/4.5 = n - 1

17.3333 = n - 1             Add 1 to both  sides.

18.3333 = n

Conclusion

It will that 18 1/3 or 18.33333 minutes to get the from -18 to 60 degrees.

Probability scenarios?
velikii [3]

Here are some probability scenarios.

- Flipping a coin and seeing if it is heads or tails.

- Thinking to yourself:  "Is it going to rain or hail?"

- Spinning a spinner and seeing what color it lands on.

-  Probability in winning the lottery.

-  Having 5 pairs of black shoes and one pair of yellow shoes.

 The probability of picking the yellow shoe is 1/5.

There are lots of more examples out there!

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. <br> ​4 and 11<br> ​
brilliants [131]

Hey there!!

How do we find the midpoint?

We take the average , the average is =

Sum of the observations / total number of observations

The end points are given as 4 and 11

Sum = 11 + 4

Number of observations = 2

= 15 / 2

= 7.5 is the midpoint
